The about 100 year old authentic Lanna style 2 storey teak house in a beautiful garden was once a residence of Chao Fongkham, a descendant of the former lord of Nan. It is now occupied by her descendants and becomes a well-preserved and worth visiting museum and learning space (entrance fee = 30 baht ; this place is less than 10 minutes driving from the city). Staffs were very nice. During our sightseeing inside the house, we dimly heard some traditional Lanna songs (made us really in the mood). Also, there was a Lanna weaving demonstration on the ground under the house. Recommend !See more..
4.5Wat Nong Bua(56 reviews) - Excellent Temple Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
Very seldom that such a beautiful temple in a perfect surrounding and well loved by the local residences can be found. Wat Ban Nong Bua is such a temple. Located some distance from Nan toward the direction of Pua, this temple is hidden in the small town of Tha Wang Pha. The temple has a generous parking area in front of the temple. Before you enter the temple, you will hear local music being played by local musician to welcome you. The temple ground is well landscaped and maintain. The main temple wall has the similar paintings from the same era as Wat Ming Muang in Nan. Behind the temple, there is a small gift shop manned by locals that are anxious to meet visitors than simply to sell their merchandise. This is an excellent temple not to be missed.See more..

What a pity that we didn't see an outstanding golden pagoda of the rabbit year (Chinese zodiac), since it was under renovation. However, we walked 3 times in clockwise direction around the pagoda to pay respect and worship Buddha relics inside. Also, don't forget to visit a 14 m reclining Buddha inside the hall in front of the temple. Last but not least, there is a community market that sells OTOP products, local clothes, foods, souvenirs.See more..

4.0Ban Huai Kon Border Market(9 reviews) - ตลาดนัดริมด่านข้ามแดน เหมาะสำหรับเดินทางต่อไปยังลาวเหนือ Points of Interest & Landmarks
I enjoyed exploring around this beautiful park. There is afew caves to see and some beautiful walking tracks. Be careful what way you walk as there is not many signs. A couple of caves were cool to see. One that was tough to get to was very underwhelming up a big hill. I did not see one other person the whole 3 hours I was there so be careful if on own like me.See more..
It is true what the reviewers said that it is not a village etc. Still I found it interesting to see the traditional house and the weaving technique. The people were lovely and took us into the house and showed us about the life style and work.See more..
4.0Wat Phrathat Beng Sakat(7 reviews) - Ancient temple of Nan. Points of Interest & Landmarks
The approximately 750 year old temple is probably the oldest temple in Nan. It was once a center of the ancient city "Wora Nakhon" (nowadays, Pua). Attractions included Lanna style ancient pagoda that contains Buddha relic, Tai Lue style hall, and shrine of a couple Nagas which are believed by locals to be the guardians of Nan river basin.See more..
Don't know what the other reviews are doing here.....THIS is Pak Nai. Hwy 101 from Nan, then 1026 and 1339 will bring you to the end of the road here at Pak Nai Fishermans Village. The Nan River contributes to the Sirikit Reservoir and at this point for you to continue your journey to Na Haeo you need to catch a bamboo ferry, pulled by a small longtail which drags you maybe a kilometre across the lake to the road where you can continue your journey. The jetty is part of the floating village and with a series of large connected barges creates the local eatery and cold drinks. Here you ask about the ferry, the lady gets on the two-way and presto you are on your way. What a great experience on our trip.....and it was cheap.See more..

5.0Wat Si Mongkhon (Wat Kong)(4 reviews) - Piety - and fun too Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lookouts • Religious Sites
We really enjoyed the visit to this monastery. There's a lot to see apart from the fine Buddha statue in the ordination hall. In the spacious grounds you can play at see saw made from old wagon wheels, sit on wooden carved motor scooters, admire life size black elephants (and an ancient cannon) and visit the museum on two floors where, apart from finding ancient radio sets and Walkmans are a particularly fine Buddha statue, a goddess of mercy and a life like waxwork monk. Lots of photo opportunities and grownups and children will love the place . I recommend 1 - 2 hours. You can also buy reasonably priced refreshments.See more..
4.5Wat Prang(4 reviews) - Why Dik Diem tree didn't vibrate? Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
This temple is the first place we visited in 2022. After we had worshipped the principle Buddha image and also seen many colorful murals in the main hall, we moved to the highlight of the place, "Dik Diem tree". Our guide told us that this amazing tree bend away from the sun (Normally, a tree should bend toward the sun). Moreover, when ones caress its trunk gently, its branches and leaves will shake slightly without any wind as if it is tickled. We did it for almost 5 minutes, but the tree didn't move, not in the slightest!(why..y??). Then, we got a new year blessing from a kind monk in the morning of the first day of the year.See more..
incredible view especially if you are lucky enough to catch the clouds just at your eye level and the spectacular below. See more..

4.0Wat Phuket(1 review) - Ganska mysigt Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
Wat Phuket några kilometer utanför staden Pua i nordöstra Thailand, är väl inte så där jättekänt bland oss västerlänningar, men väl värt ett besök. Brant trappa för att komma upp till templet, passar kanske inte alla...See more..
